Dynamic Learners
An Introduction to
Dynamic Learning
Learning is complicated. There are many factors that allow you to learn. Everyone’s profile is unique and always changing given that no one brain is exactly the same and our brains are always changing. At any given moment we have current strengths as learners and current opportunities for growth depending on the content, task, and the learning environment. It’s for that reason that it’s essential that learners develop not only a knowledge of these current strengths and opportunities but also a “toolkit” of strategies that help learners leverage their strengths to help strengthen their opportunities for growth.
Here are some of the things that students need to know about neuroplasticity:
Stress can hinder neuroplasticity, so it is important to find ways to manage stress.
The concept of “current”
The concept of current is key to understanding learning as a dynamic process, reflecting a student’s state at any moment. Neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to adapt and rewire in response to experiences, underpins lifelong learning. This adaptability explains how people can acquire new skills even later in life. Being a student means that factors like a friend’s glance can disrupt focus and memory, redirecting cognitive energy to process new social cues and not the content of class.
